Career orientation in Pfullendorf: MINT coaching for young people from September 17-19, 2024

The upcoming event of Coaching4future in the Pfullendorf six-linden play school, which takes place from September 17th to 19th, 2024, is an important initiative to inform young people about the diverse career opportunities in the technical professions. Through interactive lectures and workshops carried out by experienced tech coaches, pupils should not only be familiar with the basics of the MINT subjects, but should also be motivated to actively participate in their professional future.

The lack of specialists in technical professions is a central topic in Baden-Württemberg, one of the leading industrial and technology locations in Germany. The event in Pfullendorf is an example of how educational programs are actively working on qualifying the youngsters for the challenges of digital and sustainable future. Technical professions are particularly important in the Bodenseekreis region, since numerous companies from the fields of mechanical engineering, automation technology and medical technology are based.

The workshops will deal with robotics and environmental technology, which is not only of interest to the students, but also for companies that work in these areas. Such an initiative can help close the gap between education and the requirements of the labor market. Historically, Baden-Württemberg has always played a pioneering role in the training of specialists, especially in the MINT subjects, which are also of central importance in the curriculum in the region.

At the regional level, the Coaching4future project is part of a larger strategy supported by the state government to ensure the region's competitiveness. In addition to the imparting of technical knowledge, the aspect of professional orientation and personal interest in technical professions is clearly promoted. The partnership between the Baden-Württemberg Foundation, the Südwestmetall and the Federal Employment Agency is another step to support training and further education in technology affinity and prepare young people for the requirements of the labor market.

Here are some relevant information about the event and the MINT professions in Baden-Württemberg:

The event is under the leitmotif not only to make pupils curious about the technical professions, but also to give them the necessary tools in order to make informed decisions for their professional future. With this approach, Coaching4future helps to raise awareness of the next generation to important social challenges and to open the corresponding career paths in the technology and engineering industry.
